It is reasonable for a youngster following international developments to wonder about the situation in Greece
and to express interest precisely for the last two years that the government of Greece has been assigned to a
“left” party. That party (SYRIZA) added 2 new memorandums and additional barbaric measures crashing the
rights and conquests of the people. Finally, after so many measures voted, they declare that “we are approaching
growth, from which all of us are going to benefit”. However, is it like this? In this article we are trying to give
answers about the real situation in Greece, about the way out in favor of the people, the one that KKE proposes,
through three questions that often people make.

Question:Would it not be better if KKE participated in a government with SYRIZA or even supported it critically so
that it could shape government policy?

Answer:

The experience of the 1 year government of SYRIZA confirms the
fundamental conclusion that there cannot be a pro-people
management of the rotten and obsolete capitalist system. The
government of SYRIZA not only did not give whatever crumbs promised
to the people, but continues the same unpopular policy as the
previous governments, it did not overthrow even one anti-people
law from those which were voted in the previous years, it voted a
3rd barbarous memorandum with the lenders. The participation or
support of KKE in such governance would mean betrayal of the people’s
interests. It is not a matter of intentions, besides as historical
experience shows, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The illusion that the participation of Communist Parties to bourgeois
governments can pressure for something better for the people,
has been answered not only by KKE but also from other revolutionaries.
